Just received my little brochure on the 2002 Reinhardt Reunion in Lawrenceville, GA on October 19-20.

Scheduled clinics by Roger Homefield, http://www.rogerhomefield.com and Scott Holbert, http://www.holbrass.com

Looking forward to it.

I was originally planning to squeeze this into my schedule, even with a Friday night gig and a Sunday afternoon gig, but now I have no chance of making it, due to a Saturday night gig.

(Man, you'd think I was gigging a lot by the sound of that . . . but don't be fooled. I'm barely scraping by at this point and can't pass up any opportunity to earn a living.)

I hope somebody will give us a write-up of the proceedings and let us know what Scott and Roger talk about.

I went to one of Doc's teacher's clinics with Roger, and know from his playing, his comments, and the way Doc treated him that he's as serious a Reinhardt student as you could ever ask for. I've never met Scott, but I'm sure if he was picked to be a clinician for the Reinhardt guys, then he's bound to have a solid grasp of Doc's teachings, as well.

Thanks for posting this . . . again, I can't stand to see a topic with zero replies. I hope more interest is generated in this forum soon because I'm tired of seeing my posts in every topic.

Well, as of right now, I'm planning on going. And afterwards, I'll write up everything that I pick up from the clinics, which I'm hoping to record. I'm very interested in what Scott has to say.

Hi Rich and all forum contributors,

Thanks a lot for getting the "Doc" forum up and running. I hope a lot of first and second generation students will contribute to help out. Do you think attending the 2002 reunion would be of value to someone just starting to learn about Doc's system and teachings, or will it be too steeped in jargon and advanced ideas for a novice pivoteer to understand and benefit from?

I'd appreciate some info about the get together if someone could pass it along to me

Been away from the forum for a couple of days and things are really poppin' around here.

To answer Alex's question along with Rich's....ANYONE interested in Pivot System will benefit from the "reunion". Dave Sheetz will discuss all the types and will be giving private lessons as time permits. Scott Holbert and Roger Homefield will also discuss topics of interest. I'll try to get a flyer to you this next week. We are limiting the event to 60 people due to space constraintainst....

Thanks for your interest...........

Paul Garrett

Paul - I understand you still have some openings for this event. Please count me in; I'll get a check to you next Monday when the kids have their lessons.

Looking forward to it,

I was there! Great conference. I was only able to make the Saturday program, and by itself, it was great! I enjoyed listening to Roger Homefield as well. Listening to him talk about what it was like to play with Stan Kenton was like a history lesson taught by a participant. Between Dave and Roger, I better understand the pivot method. Thanks Paul for hosting the event.

OK, had a great time at the Reunion. Too bad Paul had a lot of cancellations, they really missed out on a great deal of information.

Dave Sheetz began by giving a fantastic overview of the Pivot System. I really learned a lot from his presentation, I thought I knew what the system was all about, but I knew very little (still do, but, hey)

Roger Homefield's clinic was about 2 hours longer than planned, I think. But he had so many great stories to tell about his time with Buddy, Maynard and Kenton.

The next day we watched a video of Reinhardt giving a lesson to Willy Olnick(sp?) about a year before Doc passed away. I got a great demonstration of the cheek puff routine from this. Then Scott Holbert gave his clinic. Since there were not that many of us there, it was very personal. Scott told us in detail about his chop challenges and many times demonstrated his fantastic range. I sat about 1 foot from his bell, checking out his chops and his fantastic pucker as he easily slurred to double C's and E's over and over.

After that we had Dave, Paul and Scott check out our chops and get "typed". I was a solid IIIA, and Dave gave me the stabilizer and track routine.

The whole reunion was great! We need more of these. If anything, just to get together and hang, maybe play some of Rich's duets.
I had a great time and taped practically the whole thing on minidisc. I think Paul videotaped most of it also. Anyway, the only thing I missed was the Gibson videotapes of the various types. I still would like to check that out someday.

That's enough for now-thanks for reading-

Hi Guys,

I'll have more info about the "Reunion" (we'll have a more apropriate name) at http://www.pivotalk.com. I hope to convert what videos I have to DVD in the next couple of months.

By the way, my camera work improved as the weekend went along. In other words, it sucked at first and got better (it wasn't my camera and I didn't have a tripod... although I did improvise one).

Thanks Kurt, Mike and, Steve for your attendance and input. We will be planning next years event in the upcoming weeks. Place and date TBA. More guest artists, clinics and general stuff. Maybe even a solo competition....

P.S. Rich....see ya Thursday!!!!

I'm beatin' ya to the punch on this Rich....

In the typical fashion of bar gigs, our 10:30 gig started at midnight. We found out there was an opening act. And in typical Reinhardt student fashion, I think our chops held up nicely. Chris LaBarera told Rich he's "in love with his sound". Who wouldn't be? What areat big, fat sound Rich has. He sounded great and did a better job sight-reading the gig than I did (not quite the impression I wanted to give...). Not to mention some VERY nice soloing.

Thanks, Rch. I hope we can do it again!!!!!!
